Oxford History of the Archaic Greek World
The Oxford History of the Archaic Greek World (OHAGW) is an international research project bringing together 39 scholars across 10 countries, collaborating to produce studies of 32 different Greek city- states, sanctuaries and regions in the Archaic period (c. 800 – c. 450 BC). When finished, OHAGW will run c. 1 million words and will be published in print and digital form by Oxford University Press. The studies in OHAGW will make it possible to explore the unique features of individual Greek communities with an entirely new level of facility and detail, also bringing the common features that bound them into a shared cultural space to the forefront. The support of the A. G. Leventis Foundation enabled OHAGW co-directors, Paul Cartledge (University of Cambridge) and Paul Christesen (Dartmouth College), to work full-time on the project and fund a post-doctoral fellow, Dr Estelle Strazdins, to provide vital editorial and research support. By working closely with contributors and maintaining the highest possible scholarly standards, OHAGW is moving rapidly towards completion, and this fundamental new resource will soon be available to scholars around the world.
